Version 5 lost the auto detection of the variables types

[Nico924]

I am using grapql-zeus since a long time now but sticked to version 4 because with version 4 I was not obligated to put the variable type with the $ operator.
Now with version 5 I see that we have to put the variable type as well like this :
Zeus('query', { myFunc: [{ input: $('input','InputType!) }, outputModel ] })

With version 4 I was able to do :
Zeus('query', { myFunc: [{ input: $('input') }, outputModel ] })

And InputType! was automatically detected.

Is it intended ? Is there a workaround ?

Thank you in advance for you answer

This is intended as I don't have time to reimplement those. Right now the best way to use zeus is to use typedDocumentNode output with some other lib like apollo. Then it works great with variables. My idea is to write a simple fetch client that consumes typeddocumentnode some day

Adding to what @aexol mentioned, I've been using typedDocumentNode for the last weeks in tandem with urql and so far it's worked great for that matter, in fact it is very straightforward and very little (or zero even) extra code.
